The Royal Academy of Engineering’s Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme support talented entrepreneurs from around the globe to turn their engineering innovations into impactful, sustainable businesses. LIF Global 2025 is our flagship entry-point programme that supports innovators with a technology prototype to create an entrepreneurial mindset.
On Thursday 10 July 2025, we are celebrating the LIF Global 2025 Pitch Day with our cohort of 71 innovators. This marks the culmination of a seven-month journey that includes an in-country training week, six months of ongoing training and mentorship, and a two-week UK Residential event. During the UK Residential, innovators have the opportunity to pitch, network, and develop valuable relationships with local stakeholders. On this day, they will be pitching to industry experts, founders, and the wider community, and receiving feedback from an expert panel of judges.
If you are interested in international start-ups with a positive social impact, then please get in touch to seek an invitation. Please click here to learn more about the entrepreneurs for 2025.
